Hknrv J. Pettit, Esq., 84, Bromley Road, Rcckenhnm January 4th, 1894. 
I duly received the Catalogues you kindly sent me. Please accept the enclosed, and I hope 
- many of your patrons send you the same, to assist in defraying the heavy expense of their 
production. If you have discontinued issuing what I have always called ** Gunnells’ 
Encyclopaedia, r I think you are wise Snch costly productions, although very useful, I feel 
assured never pay for the labour and immense expense they involve ; and my own experience 
is that there are hundreds of gardeners, and many of the general public, who write for them 
and are glad to receive them, but who never send a single stamp (to say nothing of orders) to 
help towards the expense. Thanking you for your attention.
